a New Range Problem.

The range cattlemen have all along felt
with those Of farmers and ranchmen, and,
as soon as settlements become numerous
along the borders of their ranges they
have moved their herds back The set
tiers of course select the best land wher-
ever they locate, and while perhaps the
general area of their range may not be Sc
riousy encroached upon, the cattle are
shut off from the best grassed valleys and
slopes, and often from easy access to
water; and their free movement from one
part of the range to the other greatly inn
peded by the fences which the settler
erects around his possessions besides, the
settlers passing backward and forward
over the range looking up their own stock
keep the cattle stirred up to an extent not
favorable to animals which must make
their own wintering in the open. And

THE CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS.
F., Brief History of the Crime Which Led to
Their Sentence.

The agitation of the eight-hour system
In Chicago found it's outcome in the crime
for which the seven anarchists are doom
ed To pay the penalty Of DEATH It was on
the night Of May 4th, 1886, that the fatal
bomb was thrown in the hay market at
Randolph and Halstead streets. Anar-
chism, socialism and nihilism had for
months, If not years. found fullest and
most unrestrained expression in Chicago.
ii was free speech, SO called, and the
events of this night proved a fitting Sc
quel Nearly two thousand people had
gathered at the hay market to attend
what had been advertised as meeting OF
socialists. August Spies began with an
nftamatory address, which did not seem
to arouse much enthusiasm. A. r. Par
sons followed in similar vein Mean
while the audience, or portion of it, had
become weary and were beginning to
leave, while others we're becoming noisy
and riotous. But guardians Of the peace
we're in attendance in the shape Of four
patrol wagons filed with police ready to
dispense the crowd whenever needed.
The disturbance kept increasing, and ii
nally Inspector Bonsfield judged it high
time to step in. Sam Fielden was then
Grating. The police advanced slowly, or
dering the crowd to disperse. Fielden
shouted from the wagon, 'To arms" Sud
denly there was deafening crash. A
bomb had been thrown into the midst Of
the police who answered with a yolley
from their revolvers. This was returned
by the anarchists. Then all was hubbub
and confusion until the sight Of the dead
and dying policemen recalled the people
to their senses. Seven policemen died,
while many others we're crippled for life.
1T was believed, and with good reason,
that some poisonous substance had been
placed in the bombs, as none of the po
Iicemen struck ever fully recovered from
their injuries Many socialists were also
wounded Chicago was thoroughly ex-
cited, and every city in the country
alarmed. On July 16, 1886, began the
trial of the anarchists. It lasted until
August Goth, resulting in the conviction
Of August Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel
Fielden, Albert r. Parsons, Adolph Fis-
cher, George Engle, Louis Lingg and Os-
car Neebe, all Of whom, except Neebe,
we're sentenced to death. Neebe received
fifteen years in the penitentiary. Deduct
ing Sundays, fifty four days were consumed
on the case, twenty one being devoted to
a jury. One thousand two hun
dred and eighty-one men we're summoned
on different venires as jurors. Mr.. Grin
nell conducted the prosecution, calling
Ill witnesses. Mr.. Solomon, for the de-
tense, seventy nine witnesses. After their
sentence numerous efforts were made by
their friends to aid the doomed men. Sub
scriptions in their behalf were taken up
by various anarchist societies and the
case appealed to the supreme court with
the result announced.

ANOTHER OUTBREAK.
The Indians of San Carlos Agency Put or
Their War Paint and Start Out ona
Raid--The Settlers Warned.

SAN Francisco, September pa spe-
intense excitement prevails in this city
over the reported outbreak of the San
Carlos Apache Indians. Couriers arrived
at Pontane at neon to-day notifying all
settlers in the valley that two bands had
left the reservation and were marching
south. Horton, the post trader at San
Carlos, was killed yesterday by the In
dams. The Eskiminzins band will surely
join the San Carlos Apaches and make a
force of nearly 200, all we'll armed and
equipped. Messengers have been sent in
all directions to notify the people to gath
er all their stock and prepare themselves
for defense.

WASHINGTON, September 26. The war
department has been aware for some time
of threatened trouble at the San Carlos
reservation. Yhe trouble appears to be
similar to that of ColoroW, arising from
attempts by territorial officers to enforce
the civil process on Indians. In the pres
ent case the war department is informed
that a constable and forty deputies were
endeavoring to serve a protest, and it IS
believed at the department that any at
tempt to arrest the Indians will result in
a general stampede.
A telegram has been received at the war
department from San Carlos, dated Sep
tember 22d, stating that Mr.. Horton, the
Indian trader, was shot by an Indian
scout, who was afterwards pursued by
Lieut.. Elliott, chief of scouts Porter and
some other assistant scouts. A scout was
also shot.
